Today is the last day to buy a pumpkin, spend an hour carving something cool into it, clean up all the pumpkin guts, and then submit the gourd-eous result. But if you do it, and do it really well, you might win some free holiday-themed beer! Sounds like a worthwhile deal to us. There are […]

So far, no Steve Jobs… (too soon?) but here are the current candidates for our costume contest. Did you dress up last night? Do you have a few action shots from one of the many parties? Are they appropriate for your parents to see? Probably not, but submit them anyway. Blurred out faces and pseudonyms […]

Was it a man desperately trying to assert his diminishing virility by grand public spectacle? Was it a woman whose deep-seated resentment manifests itself with obsessive depictions of the enemy? Was it an inebriated freshman who wanted to do something to show his new friends that he could be cool too, brah? We’ll probably never […]

Halloween comes around once a year, which means you have 364 days to think of a costume more original than slutty-something.  Two girls in an EC elevator: Girl One: What happened to global warming. Seems like Halloween gets colder year after year. Girl Two: That’s true, or maybe our clothing just gets skimpier and skimpier […]

A $250,000 gift to the University from two B-School alums facilitated a week-long Global Core workshop in May, which resulted in the creation of five new classes. (Spec) $2.5 Million in venture financing was given to Codecademy, a start-up focusing on computer science education that was founded by Columbia graduates undergrads this last summer.

As winter makes an early appearance, unsuspecting Californians are plagued by this foreign phenomenon known as “snow”. Girl wearing a light hoodie and Toms, being carried on piggie back, screams: “Awwww I hate cold, I wanna go home! I want California!”

This week, Bwog visited another PowerSuite where high-ranking student government officials, an established social justice leader, a master volleyball instructor, and a music connoisseur all reside. While other politicians fail at their pizza eating skills, Ruggles #109-114 is home to masters of the craft. Raphaelle Debenedetti and Mahima Chablani report. When Bwog arrived at Snuggles (yes, they were responsible for this) #109-114, […]

We showed off the first two entries to our Pumpkin Carving Contest last night, and now we present four more. The first submission by Sonia Bansal we’d like to see turned into emoticons in the comments section. The next submission—”Pumpkin Brew” by Dan Matlock, was inspired by the Atlanta Brewing Company. The next photo is of […]

Congratulations to CSC for last night’s unforgettable Night Market. Amidst the food trucks, the performances, and the dragon dance, there was a huge turnout and all left satisfied. Food was eaten, drums were beaten, and halloweekend kicked off to a great start. Photo by Elyse DeWitt
